Jack Quinn and John-Jason Peterka were VERY good draft picks although I would have selected Marco Rossi before Quinn but oh well.

I will tell you that the LineUp that you posted looks REALLY GOOD! I can see how Peterka could fit in perfect on the left wing in the future AND absolutely how Jack Quinn can fit in on the right wing with Kyle Okposo going bye bye in a trade (most likely nobody will trade for him) or in a Buyout.

Hall Eichel Olofsson should SCORE a Ton of goals. Jack Eichel cannot complain with having TWO goal scorers on his wings.
Skinner Staal Reinhart line can be one of the top second lines in the NHL with all the attributes it has. Speed and scoring of Skinner with the Complete game of Staal and the overall exceptional smart playing of Sam Reinhart lends this line to be exceptional as a number two setup.
(Potential Kahun) with Cozens and Thompson is very good and I like the youth and hands on this line.
The Fourth line will be tough to play against and has some goodness to it.
I REALLY like the D core on this team and you did a very good job on your line combos. Nice Work!

Work still needs to be done though, but I would say it is sort of a start. I am not a fan of the Girgensons and Eakin signings. I would like to see Buffalo give Seattle a 2022 2nd (if not 2022 1st) to take Okposo. Clearing up $6 million worth of cap space would give us the opportunity to sign Hall if he wants to stay. We also got to sign Dahlin and Joki next season as they’ll be getting paid big time. They need to set themselves to set up for the Seattle draft and be ready to leave players open that they don’t mind losing and want to protect (Eichel, Olofsson, Reinhart, Skinner, Thompson, Mittelstadt, Dahlin, Joki, Ullmark as of right now). Depending on how the season goes, the intake of money throughout the league, the cap space might go up a million. It will be an interesting year.

I don't see Kahun coming back now bc of the signings for the bottom 6 and the 8M on Hall...money that would be spent on Kahun can be used to upgrade the goalie position. Whether it be Raanta, Kuemper or Korpisalo. The Kahun situation is strange to me as the difference was said to be term between 2 and 3 yrs plus he has lasted this long in free agency. Wouldn't be surprised if Chi didn't sign him. I think one of Montour or Miller goes for a LHD or a draft pick. Could then sign a LHD like Gustafsson for LD. Montour now becomes easier to trade bc he is signed so the other team has a number to work with and arbitration is avoided.
